Kelis arrested for yelling racial obscenities at cops
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
Racial slurs continue to be the way for celebrities to get press coverage. (That and you know, having photographers snap you as you get out of a car with no panties on.)
Our latest celeb is Mrs. Escobar herself, Kelis. From TMZ:
Singer Kelis was arrested early Friday morning in Miami Beach after screaming racial obscenities at two female police officers who were posing as prostitutes. Damn. She’s bossy!
The officers were working an undercover operation in South Beach, when cops say Kelis started screaming racial slurs at the women. She continued screaming and rushed toward them, and had to be restrained by friends, a police report said. According to the report, Kelis’ “actions caused people walking by to stop and form a crowd. The sidewalk was blocked by the disturbance, causing people to walk in the street and causing traffic to stop.”
Pretty bizarre story. Be sure to click over to check out her mugshot. Not cute.

Does anybody know what the racial slurs were? This was the most information I could find anywhere.

I can’t believe celebrities are so ridiculous. Can’t they even hide their racism? Does anyone know what she actually said?

Does anyone really care? This “artist” is supposedly currently filming a reality show for BET or some other music tv station…so she might have done this to get attention (not to minimize what she supposedly said). I think she needs to concentrate more on her music “creativity” and leave other people alone.
